Expanding Burn Wild
How to Trigger
A Burn Wild symbol lands on reel 2, 3 or 4 during any base spin. It cannot appear on reel 1 or reel 5, and there is no scatter or trigger condition to meet first.
What Happens
The Burn Wild substitutes for every other symbol on the grid. If it ends up as part of a winning combination on any of the five fixed lines, it expands vertically and covers the whole reel it landed on. Because all five paylines run through the three middle reels, a single expanded wild can complete several lines in the same spin — that is the entire engine of the game, and the reason a five-line classic can reach four figures.
Multipliers
The wild itself carries no multiplier value. Its worth comes from the symbol it stands in for: covering a reel on a red 7 line turns a dead spin into a 40x, 100x or 1,000x line win depending on how many 7s it completes.
Strategy
Nothing about wild placement is controllable — it is RNG, spin by spin. What is worth knowing is that wilds on reel 3 tend to matter most, because every one of the five lines passes through the middle column. Flat staking suits a low-volatility game like this far better than chasing with step-ups.

Multiplier Reel
How to Trigger
Runs automatically on every winning spin. It sits on the left-hand side of the screen, outside the 5x3 grid, and needs no activation.
What Happens
When a spin produces a win, the multiplier reel draws one of five values and applies it to the total win for that spin — not to a single line, but to everything the spin paid. Combined with an expanded Burn Wild across a middle reel, this is where the headline numbers come from: the line wins are added up first, then the multiplier lands on top.
Multipliers
Five possible values: 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x and 5x. A 1x draw simply leaves the win as it is.
Strategy
There is no way to influence which value appears, and the multiplier is already baked into the 96.55% RTP — it is not a bonus on top of the published return. Treat a 5x draw as a good spin, not as evidence of a hot streak.
| Position | Left side reel |
| Fires on | Winning spins |
| Values | 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x |
| Applies to | Total spin win |
| Cost | None |
X2 Gamble
How to Trigger
Offered after any winning spin. Press the X2 button to enter the gamble screen, or Take Win to send the money straight to your balance.
What Happens
A card sits face down in the middle of the screen, flashing red and black. Call the colour correctly and the win doubles; call it wrong and the whole win is lost. After a correct call you can either collect or go again. Take Win is available at every step, and correct calls can be chained up to the game's limit.
Multipliers
x2 per correct call. Five consecutive correct calls turn a win into 32x its original size, subject to the operator's double-up ceiling.
Strategy
A coin flip is a coin flip — the gamble neither adds to nor subtracts from the published RTP, it just widens the spread. On a low-volatility game the sensible use is one call on a small win for entertainment; putting a rare big win through it undoes the whole point of playing a low-variance slot.
| Call | Red or black |
| Correct | Win doubles |
| Wrong | Win lost |
| Max calls | 5 per win |
| RTP impact | Neutral |
How the Three Pieces Combine
Most modern slots hide their money in a free-spins round. Multi Hot 5 Burn Wilds does not have one. There is no free-spins round in this game. Every payout resolves inside the base spin, which is a large part of why the volatility sits low. That single design decision explains the low volatility rating on the game: there is no long dry stretch funding a rare jackpot round, because there is no jackpot round to fund.
So the payouts have to come from somewhere else, and they come from two places stacked on top of each other. The first is reach. A Burn Wild on reel 3 that expands vertically sits on every one of the five fixed lines at once, which turns a single lucky symbol into four or five simultaneous line wins. The second is the multiplier reel. The multiplier reel draws one of five values on a winning spin — 1x, 2x, 3x, 4x or 5x — and applies it to the whole win. Smartsoft does not publish how often each value appears.
Put those together on a good spin and the arithmetic gets interesting fast. Five red 7s on a line pay 1,000x the line bet. Grapes and watermelon pay 200x for five, the bell 100x, and the four low fruits 50x apiece. A 4x or 5x draw on the multiplier reel on top of a premium line is how the published 1,300x ceiling becomes reachable rather than theoretical.
Nothing carries between spins. An expanded wild covers its reel for that spin only, and the multiplier reel redraws from scratch on the next win. There is no meter to build, no collection to fill, and no state carried between rounds — a point worth knowing if you are used to hold-and-win games where walking away mid-feature costs you something. Here every spin is settled on its own.
One caution on the buy button: Multi Hot 5 Burn Wilds has no bonus buy. If a casino advertises one for this title, you are not looking at the Smartsoft build. No buy option exists here — the only route into the features is the base spin itself.
